generate known shape from random points in 3D

hi there.. i want to gererate a Pentacle from random points in 3D as possible In other words: i pushed points in 3d by pop3d then i want to generate pentacle that has 5 point with angle between its member = 108 degree ...the result is pentacles @ different direction plan and some point didn't achieve the equation (and it`s no matter to see different size of pentacles)

If I understand correctly:

1. Find centerpoint of random points

2. Calculate the angle of the random points in relation to the centerpoint.

3. Sort by angle

4. Connect sorted points 0-2-4-1-3-0

Depending on the distribution of the random points, the pentacles may be broken.

thx ola..but what im talking about mainly is ...with my random point i want to create a Pentacle (5 point ) .... in other words ..i want to identify this shape ..if any 5 point match its rule it will close so the reselt will be some Pentacle and some point did not match the rule of shape ...and i attach my file but .. the Pentacles created around the random points
